Au Vieux Normand, Lisieux

The plentiful dishes served in this charming restaurant epitomise the phrase “typical French cuisine”.
Auberge de la Boule d’Or, Beuvron-en-Auge

A stone’s throw from the gourmet Pavé d’Auge (see Pavé d’Auge, Beuvron-en-Auge), this cosy restaurant is run by women, who create a soothing atmosphere and carefully cooked dishes.
Auberge de l’Abbaye, Le Bec-Hellouin

This exquisite geranium-decked inn looks across the village green to the abbey. Finish with the tarte aux pommes flambées .
Belle Île-sur-Risle, Pont-Audemer

A romantic private island provides the setting for Mme Yazbeck’s elegant mansion hotel and restaurant. The pastilla de lapin (in filo) is wonderful.
La Ferme de Cocherel, Cocherel

Pierre and Danielle Delton have turned their country home in a village by the Eure into a splendid restaurant. Excellent cheeseboard.
La Fine Fourchette, Falaise

Just outside town, a glowing dining room and Norman dishes with a twist of sophistication.
Le Bistrot Normand

Amazing as you actually eat in former 8000 litre oak barrels which used to contain Calvados - Yes it fits your whole family and the table inside! You are politely served by the staff who all wear the traditional Norman dress. Specialities seems to be fondues made from either Camembert, Pont l’Evêque or Livarot. My advice is to steer clear of the Livarot! If fondue and added assortments are not your thing they have a standard menu which includes a drink and there is also a menu for the kids. Great atmosphere - well worth a visit to sit in the barrels alone!
Le Manoir du Butin, Honfleur

Time seems to run slower at this half-timbered manor just outside Honfleur. A warm welcome and excellent regional cooking.
Le Pressoir, Caen

Ivan Vautier has a Michelin star for his innovative take on Norman cooking: a millefeuille of andouille and Camembert, for example.
L’Aigle d’Or, Pont-l’Evêque

The lunchtime menu de terroir is a bargain at this snug, characterful inn, bristling with beams inside and out.
